Ingredients

• 1 loaf Baguette
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 ounces Goat cheese
• 1 cup Walnuts
• 1 cup Dried cranberries
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices on a diagonal to create approximately 16 pieces.

Step 3

Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush each slice lightly with olive oil on both sides.

Step 4

Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 6–8 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.

Step 5

While the baguette toasts, place the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat and rough chop the toasted walnuts.

Step 6

Once the baguette slices have cooled slightly, spread a generous layer of goat cheese on each slice.

Step 7

Top each crostini with a sprinkle of toasted walnuts and dried cranberries.

Step 8

Drizzle honey over the assembled crostini for a touch of sweetness.

Step 9

Season each crostini with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 10

Optionally, garnish with small sprigs of fresh rosemary for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
